News

Edmonton has acquired defenseman Mark Fistric from Dallas in exchange for a 2013 third-round draft pick.

Impact

The trade will be finalized after Fistric passes a physical. The Edmonton native has 257 games of NHL experience, but he never discovered a niche while with the Stars. His top-six spot with the team wasn't guaranteed going into this season, but he should earn a position on the Oilers' inexperienced back end. He doesn't have any fantasy value unless you are in desperate need of hits or blocked shots in a very deep league.
